North Carolina fees
What North Carolina says about notary fees
For the notarial act itself, the state allows a notary to charge up to $10, per the National Notary Association.
State fees cover the notarial act. How travel and other service charges are handled is a separate question that depends on the state law, which is why we confirm it with you before we assign any North Carolina job.
A note on the state: Wikipedia calls Charlotte a major banking center and Research Triangle Park the largest research park in the U.S.

North Carolina details
Before you apply in North Carolina
Notary commissions in the state are tied to North Carolina Secretary of State. Before you apply, check that your commission is active and has at least 60 days left, because we cannot assign a job on a commission that is about to lapse.
The state has counties across the state. Tell us which ones you will travel to and which you prefer to avoid, and we only offer in-person jobs inside that range.
What it pays
Pay and terms
Each job shows its pay up front. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer. Every offer states what the job pays before you commit, including any job in the state. Contractors receive a 1099 at year end.
Offers start from $35 for a mobile notary visit and $75 for a loan signing, and many pay more.
Work is per job, offered as requests arrive inside your travel radius, whether that is near Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro or a smaller town. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.
A plain note: this is not legal advice, and we are a young company that deliberately keeps the team small, so early contractors see more of the work as it grows.
Use the application on this page, with your commission and E&O uploaded (plus the NNA certificate if you want loan signings). When everything is there and the dates check out, approval can be automatic, followed by an email to sign the agreement and add your W-9 before offers arrive by text or email.
